Laudes Domini ‎#585

585. "Lamb of God!"

1 Let us love and sing and wonder,
Let us praise the Saviour's name!
He has hushed the law's loud thunder,
He has quenched Mount Sinai's flame:
He has washed us in his blood,
He has brought us nigh to God.

2 Let us love the Lord who bought us,
Pitied us when enemies;
Called us by his grace, and taught us,
Healed the blindness of our eyes:
He has washed us in his blood,
He presents our souls to God.

3 Let us sing, though fierce temptation
Threaten hard to bear us down!
For the Lord, our strong salvation,
Holds in view the conqueror's crown:
He, who washed us in his blood,
Soon will bring us home to God.

4 Let us praise, and join the chorus
Of the saints enthroned on high;
Here they trusted him before us,
Now their praises fill the sky:
"Thou hast washed us in thy blood,
Thou art worthy, Lamb of God!"
